Statement ideas

Films studies- small scale research project

Does the relationship between an actor and director have the star power to sell a movie or does the work stand tall for its self.

The relationship between an actor and a director explained, The uncanny relationship between Johnny Depp & Tim Burton.

Sweeney Todd

Alice and wonderland (Mad hatter)

Edward scisserhands

Is the uncanny relationship between Depp and Burton the selling point of a movie or is the storyline of the film pushing the film to success.

Does Tim Burton's films need big Hollywood names like Johnny Depp for the film to be a success, or can the pure film making and Burton flare do it.

research day

Today I spent the morning researching Johnny Depp's persona and how this effects the roles he gets but I soon found there wasn't information about this, so this has made me change my idea slightly. I began researching the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp working relationship and i found much more resourses to use. I have printed and highlighted the key information which will be used in my final piece.

i have also read the book Johnny Depp. it did have so good information but it was mostly information that wasn't any use to me. I am trying to track down the book  Salisbury, Mark. "Burton on Burton". United Kingdom: Mackays of Charham. 1995; as it has been referanced to be very helpful with the johnny depp link.
